I've had people say it's a hardening, actually ~ US presidential election 2016 part 9/11 never forget

The best, the most luxurious pubes. They're gorgeous, these pubes, I can tell you that.

C'mon, it's not that unusual for a 70-year-old man's bladder to wake him up at 3am. The fact that he does a bump after taking a splash is incidental.

LOL

haven't been really following this thread much so sorry if this is already news but i can't even . . . did the republican congress (a senate who refuses to hold supreme court justice hearings) really just vote to let foreign governments sue our foreign-stationed troops? what the fuck is wrong with them?

Oh my Christ, that is next fucking level.

Senate: "Let's make this thing a law!"
President: "That's a bad idea, and here are the reasons why I think it's a bad idea."
Senate: "Yay, we passed the bill!"
President: "I'm going to veto your bill because it's a bad idea, and here are the reasons why I think it's a bad idea."
Congress: "Fuck you, we veto your veto and BOOM! It's a law!...Oh, wait, we didn't realize that there were reasons why this was a bad idea. Thanks, Obama!"

Clearly he got his hands on a burner. Trump probably has phones stashed around the house like alcoholics do with bottles

“Everybody was aware of who the potential beneficiaries were but no one had really focused on the potential downside in terms of our international relationships. And I think it was just a ball dropped,” McConnell said. “I hate to blame everything on him and I don’t, but it would have been helpful if we had a discussion about this much earlier than the last week.”

mcconnell is such piece of shit

The more I read about this 9/11 bill and the aftermath, the more I keep imagining Congress being all:

Accidentally opening the door for people to sue us for torturing them and bombing their weddings and hospitals is not exactly the end of the world, tbh

Yeah, I kinda feel about that the way I feel about the prospect of wildlife collectively rising up to wipe out and devour humankind. It would suck for us but it wouldn't exactly be unjust.

it is from the GOP's point of view, remember how enthusiastic they are about the UN, World Court, etc.

would be nice to see both candidates sued out of the race

A word about fundraising e-mails:

I do not care if you've been up all night crunching fundraising numbers. You are using an extremely over-familiar tone considering I DO NOT KNOW WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE. I have already decided I am voting for the candidate you represent and thusly do not require 20 "updates" from the team each day.

i keep asking them to scale back the number of fundraising emails they send me and that lasts for about a week and then they crank it back up to twice a day again

you can tell them to not send you any more messages, that actually has a legal definition

I am completely fucking dying at McConnell playing dumb after Obama specifically wrote why this bill was bad

jesus christ congress

the sex tape thing is hilarious, even better that the video in question is called "aprentass" lmao

I'm not gonna check it out but I'm like 90% sure it's a parody of Trump's own TV show which makes this even funnier

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/trump-ivanka-made-promise-not-date-younger-article-1.2813061

The casino owner and future Republican nominee told Howard Stern in 1999 that his daughter Ivanka, who was 17 at the time, had made him swear not to date anyone younger than her.

“I have a deal with her. She’s 17 and doing great — Ivanka. She made me promise, swear to her that I would never date a girl younger than her,” Trump said during a taping of Howard Stern’s radio show in June 1999. “So as she grows older, the field is getting very limited.”

oh my fucking god

Wow.

The Chicago Trib also goes 3rd Party.

Note: Benghazi.

Could be fun:

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/trump-zakarian-suit-deposition-video-public

speaking of which

In a Thursday interview, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich slammed Hillary Clinton's resurfacing of Donald Trump's comments about a former Miss Universe as "an ambush that was as false as Benghazi."

"This is the new Benghazi lie," he said in an interview on conservative radio host Sean Hannity's show, as flagged by Buzzfeed.

"It was as false as her claim she was under fire in Bosnia. It was as false as the lies she told about her emails," he added, sparing no political metaphor in his criticism of Clinton. "As happened in Ferguson, as happened in Benghazi, as happened in Bosnia, it’s all starting to fall apart because it’s based on a series of falsehoods."

Increasingly hard to be anything but cynical about WTF newspaper endorsements in a world where clicks are hard to come by

...Ferguson?

...was an inside job, duh! Wake up!

But Newt, I certainly feel like it's true, and that's what matters. Facts have liberal bias, right?

I am reasonably certain from context that even adjusting for Trumpian levels of atrocity, that was still meant to be a joke.

It is a spectacularly shitty joke, though.

How the fuck did I miss this?

“Now, somebody who a lot of people don’t give credit to but is in actuality very beautiful is Paris Hilton,” Trump told Stern. “I’ve known Paris Hilton from the time she’s 12, her parents are friends of mine, and the first time I saw her she walked into the room and I said, ‘Who the hell is that?’ At 12, I wasn’t interested… but she was beautiful.” He also admitted to watching Paris Hilton’s sex tape with Knauss, despite knowing her since the age of 12 and being very close friends with the Hilton Family.

Clinton's vision of ever-expanding government is in such denial of our national debt crisis as to be fanciful. Rather than run as a practical-minded Democrat as in 2008, this year she lurched left, pandering to match the Free Stuff agenda of then-rival Bernie Sanders. She has positioned herself so far to the left on spending that her presidency would extend the political schism that has divided America for some 24 years.

Imagine!

I have found the prophet:

yeah because 'spending' is the real root of all of america's political problems - I dont recall the fiscally conservative gop exercising any financial restraint whatsoever from 2000-2008.

both sides do it, mayor

“He (Trump) sends things to her (Kara) on paper from the news—clippings of all his articles he sends her, circles his name, and writes, ‘Billionaire,’” continued Benza. “He’s out of his mind.”

mr. gorbachev, check out sex tape

I bet the Clinton team cannot believe how well their debate strategy worked

trump owned himself for an entire week. A WHOLE WEEK.

Which is now fodder for the next debate

From CNN of all places:

Days after patting himself on the back for not invoking them on a debate stage, Donald Trump and his campaign are attempting to use Bill Clinton's sex scandals to cast a shadow on Hillary Clinton.

[...]

Still, the irony does not seem to have resonated with his campaign brain trust. On Wednesday, they put out talking points encouraging surrogates to chat about Monica Lewinsky, Gennifer Flowers and Paula Jones. A day earlier, Trump (who is overweight himself) hit back at claims he'd body-shamed a former Miss Universe by noting to Fox News that "she gained a massive amount of weight."

Odd, but not surprising. Especially when you consider the rogues gallery of advisers Trump has drafted in over the past few months -- a pasty collection of older males, mostly media executives and politicians, with a long rap sheet of marital infidelities, sex scandals and worse...

Clinton campaign is like an older sibling making a younger sibling hit themselves in the face while taunting "stop hitting yourself! stop hitting yourself! stop hitting yourself!"

"pasty collection of older males" is good

Some of Donald Trump's advisers are discussing an overhaul in how he prepares for his second face-off with Hillary Clinton, and one option being floated internally is asking Chris Christie to take a leading role to get the Republican nominee ready.

The New Jersey governor, a long-time friend of Trump's, is one of "the few" in the billionaire's inner circle who has always been straight with him, and was "brutally honest" about his shortcomings after this week's debate, according to a source familiar with the discussions.

There's no sign that everyone in the campaign agrees this is the right path forward.

"You're not supposed to gain 60 pounds during the year that you're Miss Universe," said the former House speaker, who has no known experience in or around beauty pageants.

I'm real interested in the angle Trump takes with Bill's infidelities. Were they somehow Hillary's fault? Was she just no good in bed? Did she let her looks go? Do we really want a frigid, lazy slob for a president?

Should we do mini-poll as to what topic Trump will psesumably fuck himself over in the next one due to the tragic core of his damn'd soul? Cuba? Some real estate deal? Hilariously stupid charity tax dodges?

Or will it just be more treatment of women(and probably non-white women at that)?

I figure not all of these will have the same traction or weight with the press or voters, but I'm curious as to the odds on which thing he goes all-in on

Will they attempt to quote from Chris Rock's 98/99 Lewinsky bit?

Hillary targeted this Machado thing to increase her appeal to key voting demos that she needs: women and latinos. I wouldn't be surprised if next deadfall trap is oriented around an issue to appeal to a specific demographic that she still needs to turn out for her - millenials or african americans etc.

I'm trying to think of a single public figure as profoundly stupid as Trump who doesn't have some commensurate opposing quality (however shallow) that makes up the difference enough to justify their existence as a public figure. Comin' up short.
